The Loggerhead Marinelife Center Expanding For More Research And Programs
The Loggerhead Marinelife Center is dedicated to helping protect the ocean, marine life and injured and endangered sea turtles through their rehabilitation center and research programs. More recently the Loggerhead Marinelife Center has begun expansion on their new 27,000 square foot facility to help provide more research space and rehabilitate more sea turtles.
The Loggerhead Marinelife Center has raised millions of dollars for their expansion through their Waves of Progress campaign which launched in 2017. With the expansion, the center is dedicated to providing more outreach programs and education for both the public and the researchers at the center.
The popular Palm Beach County attraction is set to build an auditorium, double their tank space, have a full-service research lab, and add a new sea water filtration system. With the more space, the Loggerhead Marinelife Center will be able to treat critically ill sea turtles and won’t have to send them to other centers nearby.
More recently, The Loggerhead Marinelife Center has gained national recognition by being featured on NBC’S Today Show. A sea turtle was found by an Inwater Research group of biologists on September 18th and was brought to Juno Beach. The patient received treatment and was named Today and was released on NBC Today’s Show as part of their Turtle Tuesday to help with ocean and sea turtle conservation.
The Loggerhead Marinelife Center was founded more than 30 years ago and has become a global leader in sea turtle health and ocean conservation. The center is located in Juno Beach, one of the world’s most important sea turtle nesting beaches in the world. Last year, more than 350,000 people visited the center and more than 64,000 students participated in the center’s activities and educational programs. The expansion is set to be completed in 2022.
The Loggerhead Marinelife Center is located at 14200 US Highway 1 in Juno Beach.
